In this episode of CleanTech Talk, Scott Cooney and Zach Shahan discuss the current state of climate action, reflecting on past US clean energy and EV policies from Obama and Biden, discuss some of the achievements of the Biden administration, and look into the implications of the recent US presidential election and challenges ahead. They explore the impact of local politics on climate initiatives, the role of complacency in political engagement, and the future of electric vehicle adoption in the US.
The conversation also touches on global trends in renewable energy and the influence of fossil fuel companies on climate policy — globally and in the US. Scott and Zach delve into the complexities of climate change a little bit, the illusion of technological solutions and geoengineering, and the geopolitical implications of Donald Trump being elected ... twice.
They also discuss the evolution of Elon Musk's thinking, influence, and involvement in political narratives, particularly regarding climate issues. The conversation culminates in a critical examination of Musk's transformation from a cleantech leader to a far-right political influencer, highlighting the challenges and responsibilities of influential leaders in addressing climate change. -

I recently interviewed Mike Spagnola, president and CEO of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), for our CleanTech Talk podcast series. It was an atypical and interesting conversation for me, because it wasn't with someone entrenched in and coming from the EV industry. This is a more conventional auto guy who's coming at the EV topic from a "normal auto guy" perspective.

While automotive EV growth increases with a clear path towards a dominant position for electrics on the roads, why haven't electric motorcycles seen similar growth as electric autos in the U.S.? They are contributing to large climate improvements in other nations. How can we see the same in the U.S?
Also, one million eBikes are sold in America annually and they have replaced a significant amount of automobile use. Whether that is from kids riding an eBike to school rather that traveling in their parent's car or consumers using them for quick, easy, and very affordable local transportation, eBike use has contributed towards less carbon emissions and a healthier lifestyle for eBike owners. This industry has been unregulated and has become dangerous, though. What legislation and regulation is coming and how will this affect the eBike industry and their use?
CleanTechnica's Scott Cooney talks with Andy Leisner about these matters. -
